Thunder forward Kevin Durant has come second in the draft and MVP votings, but nobody in the NBA can touch him nowadays when it comes to pitching products - whether it's shoes, video games or soft drinks. He leads our Commercials Rankings and No. 2 (Kobe Bryant) is not even close.

According to a source, Gaines has entered the NBA D-League player pool. Gaines last played for the club Besiktas Milangaz in Turkey.

In the game won against Sidigas Avellino, Pallacanestro Cantù lost Jerry Smith who fractured his foot. The PG got injured after two minutes of the game and did not return to the court. Smith will likely miss 4-5 months. With former D-League out, Cantù is back to the market looking for a new PG. The hottest name is Sundiata Gaines who has played with Cantù in the season 2008-09 averaging 13.4ppg, 3.4rpg and 2.5apg. Gaines was at the camp with the Pacers but he has been waived on October 22.
